Sandra Rienäcker (born April 30, 1968 in Leipzig ) is a German painter , graphic artist and draftsman .

Life

Sandra Rienäcker was born in Leipzig in 1968 as the younger daughter of the meteorologist Karl-Heinz Bernhardt and the mathematician Hannelore Bernhardt . When she was two years old, the family moved to Berlin because her father was appointed professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin (HUB). Here she grew up and went to school together with her older sister. In order to promote her musical interests, she has taken several years of classical singing lessons since 1983 with the aim of a later operatic career.

After graduating from high school in 1986 at the extended secondary school "Friedrich Engels" (today: Andreas-Oberschule (grammar school) ) in Berlin-Friedrichshain , I studied computer science at the HUB, and from 1988 studied art education at this university. In the years that followed, Sandra Rienäcker became increasingly involved in the visual arts .

In 1996 she started special studies in painting and graphics at the traditional art academy in Berlin-Weißensee with professors Wolfgang Peuker , Dieter Goltzsche and Dieter Gantz . In 2000 she obtained her diploma with the work "Zeitllauf" under Wolfgang Peuker and a theoretical thesis on the Austrian painter Albin Egger-Lienz under the mentor W. Eberle .

This was followed by a master's degree with Wolfgang Peuker , which she successfully completed in 2001 as his last graduate. Peuker is considered a well-known representative of the Leipzig School , and in this respect Rienäcker is its successor.

As a figurative, representational painter, she takes up the traditions of the Renaissance, German Romanticism and New Objectivity as well as the Italian pittura metafisica in her artistic technique and style. Pictorial themes are allegorical figurations, architectural landscapes as well as still lifes and portraits. In addition to painting, she also devotes herself to etching (gravure). Other focal points are the examination of the human figure in front of the model and work in the great outdoors (plein air). In the last few years there has been an intensive artistic occupation with the work of Richard Wagner and with the Bayreuth Festival .

Rienäcker maintains creative contacts with artist colleagues and art enthusiasts such as Matthias Steier and Dieter B. Herrmann , as well as with institutions such as the Kulturring in Berlin and the gallery of the Berlin graphic press , which represents it.

Sandra Rienäcker lives in Berlin, has been married to the computer scientist Uwe Rienäcker since 1989 , and she has an older sister Mira . The name Rienäcker has become known several times in the history of science: the musicologist Gerd Rienäcker and his father, the chemist Günther Rienäcker .
